Three of them gave up under Bruce. Five of them under MoN and PDC, and again under Poyet. Only Poyet pulled it round once.

Suspect.
Attitudes.

So were the 6 players the same 6 players you were thinking of Wow I should go into show business...stand aside Darren Brown :lol:

Doesn't take a mind reader to spot the common denominators man.

Ok so why didn't you name them then in the first place ?

And BTW if we didn't have those 6 players in the squad we would have gone down last season no dougt about it
 
beginning to lose patience with him a little tbh.

this is very fucknig crass. we looked class at times under MON. we've gone backwards under poyet since last year and neither tactics, formation, substitutions seem to suggest he thinks we shoudl even bother trying to win games.

his constant moaning is getting on my tits now, wouldn't be gutted if he left [depending on who came in]

Because everyone sensible knows who we're talking about. Best players, worst attitudes and the whole atmosphere at the club is defined by them.
 
So you were talking about the style of play then.


I don't get your point.
Sorry lads but it doesn't take a genius to work ou what's wrong here. I know he's not the "manager" but as the "head coach" it is his responsibility to get the best out of the players he has available and to be honest he's not achieving that. For a start some of them are not giving 100 % and we all know who they are. Some of them aren't good enough to perform consistently in the premier league and the head coach is letting them know thi from comments made in his press conferences. This is indefensible " a bad workman always blames his tools scenario" the worst type of manager is the one who blames every one else for failure but himself. If he thinks he has been not had the support promised by short when agreeing the extension to his contract then he should walk!

Aye I forgot that you must be one of those sensible ones.. I bet you take a flask and sandwiches to the games as well ;)
 
So let me get this straight

People on here moan and keep saying players are needed so gus comes out and says exactly that and he's slated for it

Some of you need to sit in a dark room lock the door and live out your life their
 
The last thing I want to read our 'head coach' saying is that we're shit now and always have been so don't expect anything else.

So to summarise recent press conferences, the board won't give you £200m to spend, you don't choose the players, your mythical system is superb but the players don't fit it and now Sunderland have always been shit so what do you expect me to do about it.

After 15 months in charge when will it be YOUR fault Gus?

This bloke is insane. And an ungrateful prick.
 
shades of di canio..... :neutral:
If you demotivate the players it doesn't matter what formation or tactics you use they are more than likely to fail. It's human nature to feel valued and important and part of the team that is what won us the cup in 1973 nothing more. Bob Stokoe took a team of strugglers and made them fa cup winners simply by believing in them individually and as a team, it's not rocket science!
 
A lot more here

Gustavo Poyet fears Sunderland remain “miles away” from where he would like to position the club.

The Black Cats are 16th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at the Stadium of Light.

They have won just three league games this season, only one on Wearside and once, also, in their last 11 top-flight outings. Poyet believes the club is moving, albeit slowly, in the right direction, away from a recent past spent yo-yoing between the Premier League and the Championship, or staving off relegation from the former to the latter on an annual basis.

Those teams were “rubbish”, he said, “full of bad decisions and suffering” and lacked “characteristics”.

The Uruguayan continues to attempt to stamp some degree of identity on Sunderland.

But while trying to “find a way together”, Poyet believes there is still a long way to go.

Asked why his players had backed off from their Liverpool opponents, rather than close them down, he said: “There was confusion.

“It’s about understanding the game. We need to be flexible. You cannot take things literally.

“When you go on the pitch things are going to happen and I cannot predict what will happen.

“You don’t know if a team will play four in the middle, square across the pitch. You need to adapt.

“The disappointing thing is we sorted it out at half-time. I was expecting my team to be able to sort it out themselves. That is why I am disappointed.

“(Getting into opponents’ faces) was the characteristic of one Sunderland. Kevin Phillips and (Niall) Quinn.

“The rest of the teams of Sunderland (between then and now) did not have any characteristics. They were rubbish. They were playing for relegation and suffering.

“I am trying something. But we are miles away to a point that it worries me a little bit.”

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet before the match


Invited to compare those teams he deemed “rubbish” to his own, Poyet added: “I don’t care, I am just saying what I feel.

“We have to be realistic. Sunderland have been in the top 10 once in the last 15 years I think. The rest have been full of bad decisions and suffering.

“One season they had a player who scored 24 goals (Darren Bent) and since that player left, no one has scored more than 15.

“I could give you all the stats you like, but it is very simple. You cannot go backwards.

“Niall Quinn retired a few years ago and Kevin Phillips is a coach at Leicester (City) so we can’t go back to that team.

“We need to find a way together, making the team play in a certain way. We have to be better and more adaptable, more intelligent on the pitch as a team and we are not.

“Maybe we should play Newcastle every week.

“I accept we gave away 45 minutes today. After that we tried. I cannot ask for any more than that with the personnel we have got.

“I was expecting against Leeds (United, in the FA Cup third round eight days ago) for my team to control the game but we didn’t. That really made me feel bad.

“We have no option but to keep going, to make it better, make better changes and decisions.

“The players (Steven Fletcher, Jozy Altidore, Jack Rodwell, Lee Cattermole and Anthony Reveillere) coming back from injury have big, big chances now. I need them. I hope they take them.”

Doesn't sound like a man who wants to be sacked to me. Just a man annoyed his methods are not being followed the way he wants.

Are you the lad who claimed to be a former club director and football agent?

Whether or not you want to read it is neither here nor there. You can't criticise a man for being right and speaking his mind.
